HAVANA - Police arrested José Ángel Saborit Proenza, 40, coordinator of
the Cuban "La Demajagua" Pro Human Rights Committee on March 6 in
Manzanillo, Province of Granma, for the supposed misdemeanor of
illegally selling a pair of his shoes.

The arrest took place at 10 a.m., when Saborit Proenza was walking
through the streets holding the pair of shoes.

Jesús Labrador, Cuba Free Press reporter in Granma said the regional director
of Pro Human Rights in the region was arrested Feb. 24 when he said he
would publicly conmemorate the killing of the four martyrs of Miami's
Brothers to the Rescue (Hermanos al rescate) by Cuban Migs in 1996.
